Hi,
Your RDN for that object is uid=bjoern,ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=my, which is single valued. Either configure dovecot use uid attribute as username and not cn, either change the RDN to cn=bjoern... or look into multiple values RDNs. Use this a reference: http://www.zytrax.com/books/ldap/apa/dn-rdn.html Regards, Andrei On 20.06.2012 14:31, Bjoern Wuest wrote: Hello together, Just to stay updated. I tried to connect using the distinguished name cn=<username>,ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=my . I have changed the DN to uid=<username>,ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=my and login works. Yet I am confused because I have set index on cn as well as uid attribute (or is uid not an attribute but an element)?

However, setting up the mail system (dovecot + postfix) I encountered a problem new to me. When I try to bind as a "normal" user(here:bjoern) to LDAP it fails with wrong credentials. I can assure that I did not mistyped the password (tried multiple times). Login to the Linux system and samba with same credentials (i.e. bjoern and his password) works.

If you're confident that's not the case here (how confident?), then haveyoucompared that log output to the log output of a successful login?

The files "dn2id.bdb" and "id2entry.dbd" are old ones because slapindex would not create any index without them. Yet, the problem still remains. User "bjoern" can login to linux (evenfromremote hosts) and samba, but fails to login via dovecot as well as ldapsearch. I further compared the syslog when doing a successful login versus an unsuccessful login. Of course I have restarted nscd and nslcd services to clear caches (I hope). Yet, nscd / nslcd may also explain why linux andsambalogin works. Both are done via nslcd which uses the ldap admin account to access the ldap. So, further indications are welcome. If you like I can also provide you with the full slapd.conf file so youwouldbe able to setup an Ubuntu 12.04 system with the same ldap configuration in a virtual machine. Regards Bjoern |
